Wartburg College (1x7, 1x9)

Spectators here in Decorah were treated to two well played baseball games, but unfortunately for Norse fans, the Knights of Wartburg College posted victories of 3-1 and 5-4 in 10 innings.

In game one, a couple of Norse errors in the fifth frame led to two Knight unearned runs that proved to be the difference in the ball game. Luther took a 1-0 lead in the third when Andy Briggs drove in Mitch Knippenberg with a single to left. The Knights added an insurance run in the sixth.

Blake Peterson picked up a tough loss going the distance on the mound. Peterson allowed four hits, walked three and struck out two.

Zach Hendrikson, who was 2-for-5, drove in two of Luther's runs. Eric Pittman also had two hits going 2-for-4.

Alex Byom was credited with the loss in relief. Byom took over with two outs in the seventh. He allowed one run on four hits, walked one and struck out one.
